In Yan'an City, Zhang Damou finally felt the dilemma. Now that Mizhi County and Ansai City were all occupied by officers and soldiers, the rebels could no longer use Yan'an Prefecture as a seesaw to enter Shanxi. On the contrary, they were still restrained by the officers and soldiers and did not dare to move.
Nowadays, Yan'an City has become useless, and it is a pity to abandon it. Zhang Damou wanted to abandon the defense of Yan'an City and go south to find Wang Ziyong's main force to cooperate with Gao Yingxiang to attack Xi'an Prefecture with all his strength, but he was afraid that Wang Ziyong would blame him. Zhang Damou followed
I have been with Wang Ziyong for several years, and I still know this leader very well. Leader Wang is very eager to have a piece of his own territory.
In the past six months, Gao Yingxiang has taken advantage of the territory. After entering the northwest, Gao Yingxiang did not plunder like others. Instead, he took over a horse farm and managed it patiently. His strength increased by leaps and bounds and actually surpassed Leader Wang. Leader Wang naturally
I don’t want this, so I’ve always wanted to have my own place to rest and recuperate.
Yan'an Mansion is definitely the best choice, but now, it seems that it is not easy to capture Yan'an Mansion. Unable to make up his mind, Zhang Damou had to write a letter to Wang Ziyong.
After Wang Ziyong received the letter and learned about the situation in Yan'an Mansion, he quickly made a decision. He was indeed eager to have a piece of his own territory, but he also did not want to be the second Wu Yangui. If Yan'an Mansion held him back, he
, it is very likely that the officers and soldiers will use Yan'an Prefecture to eat away bit by bit. When the letter was delivered to Yan'an, the peasant army in Yan'an Prefecture began to retreat. However, Zhang Damou and Zhang Cunmeng sent heavy troops to guard Ganquan City.
Ganquan City guards the southern gateway of Yan'an Prefecture. Anyone entering or leaving Yan'an Prefecture must pass through Ganquan City. If you bypass Ganquan City, you will inevitably pay a heavy price.
Because the peasant army was heavily guarding Ganquan City, Lou Daji and Sun Chuanting could only take over Yan'an and other places to clear out the peasant army that had not had time to retreat, and did not dare to pursue it in depth.
The peasant army withdrew, but it posed a problem for Lou Daji and others. I thought that this peasant army would guard Yan'an Mansion like Wu Yangui and would not let go. In this case, they could repeat their old tricks and take advantage of the greed of the peasant army.
, eating away at the opponent's strength bit by bit. Who would have thought that Wang Ziyong could retreat so simply.
If you insist on going south and pursue the peasant army, it is not impossible, but the mountains are high and the roads are far away. The main force of the peasant army is almost all around Xi'an Prefecture, so it is easy to be ambushed by the peasant army.
Usually, as long as they are not attacking the city, the officers and soldiers are not afraid at all. But now, the combat quality of the peasant army is no longer what it used to be. Wang Jiayin made great use of those officers and soldiers who had defected to him and continued to train troops, and the effect was very significant. Although the combat effectiveness cannot be compared with the border army,
But at least the peasant army dared to fight and would not collapse at the first touch.
In Yan'an City, Deng Huaiyuan was walking around with his hands behind his back and frowning, while Lou Daji, Sun Chuanting and others were sitting on their seats, also frowning in thought.
"General Lou, Sun has an idea, but I don't know if it's feasible or not!"
"Master Sun, if you have any ideas, it's okay to say it!" Lou Daji was worried that he had no countermeasures, so he was naturally very anxious. Sun Chuanting smiled, stood up and spread out the map, "Generals, look here!"
As he spoke, Sun Chuanting pointed at the name on the map, and it turned out to be Sanshui County. "Generals, the geographical location of Sanshui County is very special. To the west, you can enter Pingliang Mansion, and to the southwest, you can cut into the rear of Gao Yingxiang's headquarters.
, threatening Fengxiang Mansion. Now all the opponent’s attention is on Xi’an Mansion, if an elite force suddenly takes over Sanshui County, how will the other party react?”
Lou Daji and others have been leading the army for many years. After listening to Sun Chuanting's words, their eyes suddenly lit up. If Sanshui County is really captured, it will pose a huge threat to the various departments of the Peasant Army. At that time, the Peasant Army will inevitably
We should concentrate on returning reinforcements, or even besiege Sanshui County with heavy troops, and first kill the officers and soldiers in Sanshui County to relieve the worries at the rear. This strategy has the meaning of besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao.
Lou Daji's face was overjoyed, but soon he became a little worried, "Well, Mr. Sun, your idea is indeed good, but the key point is that in Shaanxi, where are there any elite troops to send? To seize Sanshui County, we still have to carry it.
You can withstand the opponent's violent attacks."
After hearing this, Sun Chuanting shook his head gently, looked at Lou Daji, and said seriously: "No, General Lou, to be precise, there is an elite soldier near us who can complete this important task."
"Huh?" Lou Daji's eyes widened and his face turned a little pale, "Why didn't I see this?"
"Here, General Cao Wenzhao has an elite frontier army. He has thousands of soldiers and horses under his command and has undergone long-term training. This is the most suitable position."
"What?" Deng Huaiyuan and others were all a little angry, and Li Jiasheng said angrily, "Master Sun, what do you mean? General Cao's elite troops have been at the forefront, guarding Xianyang."
Sun Chuanting frowned and felt a little panicked. In his heart, he blamed himself for not thinking carefully. Seeing that he had offended the public, he had to raise his hand and explained: "Generals, calm down, please listen to Sun. Hey.
, several generals think about it, what is the significance of our army defending Xianyang? Isn't it just to contain the main force of a large number of rebels and reduce the pressure on Xi'an government? If we abandon Xianyang and capture Sanshui County, we can also contain most of the rebels.
What?"
"That's true, but Mr. Sun, don't forget, if the thieves leave Sanshui County alone and want to capture Xi'an first, then we will become sinners. Who can bear this responsibility?"
Sun Chuanting suddenly frowned, feeling a little unhappy in his heart, "Generals, Sun just expressed his thoughts. However, there is never a foolproof strategy for using troops, and it is necessary to take some risks.
.These generals are all veterans of the battlefield. It is not difficult to see that if our army takes Sanshui County, it will be difficult for the traitors to continue to attack Xi'an Mansion. Unless they are crazy, they will ignore the danger behind them, even if Xianyang may be flanked.
, no matter what. It can only be said that the possibility of our success is very high. The key is whether we dare to take this risk."
At this time, Lou Daji had calmed down. He knew that what Sun Chuanting said was very reasonable. In fact, he was also very tempted. The situation in Shaanxi is now a mess. If he wants to open up the situation, he can only use dangerous tactics. In the art of war, it is
It works, but it is very difficult to implement. "Master Sun, we are not attacking you. You rarely lead troops and you don't know our difficulties. Governor Yang will not agree to this method."
Sun Chuanting was speechless. Only then did he realize that the real decision maker in Shaanxi was not Cao Wenzhao or Lou Daji, but Yang He, the trilateral governor of Xi'an Mansion. Lou Daji and others knew about the dangerous tactics of the army, but Yang
He didn't know that in the eyes of Governor Yang, the safety of Xi'an Mansion was more important than anything else. In his opinion, Xi'an Mansion had a very special significance. Once it fell, it would be a heavy blow to the Ming Dynasty.
For the safety of Xi'an Mansion, Governor Yang will not take any more risks.
